Police are appealing for help in tracing a 32-year-old man who has gone missing from home in the Bryn–y-Baal area near Mold.

Marc Jeffrey Blythin was last seen last Wednesday at 9.45am, when he told family and friends that he was going on a business trip to Manchester

Since that time he has failed to make contact with them.

Mr Blythin is described as being 6ft2" tall, of a stocky build with short dark brown hair and a goatee-style beard.

PC Jonathan Ashton from North Wales Police said: “Marc could be anywhere in the North Wales area or further afield and so our appeal for sightings initially covers the North West region.

"We are becoming increasingly concerned for Marc’s welfare and are appealing to anyone who may have seen him to make immediate contact with police.

“I would like to stress that Marc is not in any trouble and our appeal is out of concern for his welfare. I’d also appeal to Marc himself to contact police and his family to let them know that he is safe and well.”

Anyone with information should contact North Wales Police on 101 or alternatively via Crime stoppers on 0800 555 111.
